What does PCI stand for in the context of 4G LTE and 5G NR?
In the context of 4G LTE and 5G NR, PCI stands for Physical Cell ID.

What is another term for the Physical Cell ID (PCI)?
Another term for the Physical Cell ID (PCI) is PHY-layer cell id.

What is a Physical Cell ID (PCI)?
A PCI is an identifier used to indicate the physical identity of a cell during the cell selection procedure.

What is the Physical Cell ID (PCI) used for?
The PCI is used for downlink synchronization.

What two signals make up a Physical Cell ID (PCI)?
Two two signals that make up A PCI are the:

  1. Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS).
  2. Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS).

What is the formula for determining the Physical Cell ID (PCI) based on the PSS and SSS?
The formular for determining the Physical Cell ID (PCI) based on the PSS and SSS is: .

Between what two numbers can the PSS be in 4G LTE and 5G?
In 4G LTE and 5G, the PSS can be between 0 and 2.

How is the PSS generated in 4G LTE?
In 4G LTE, the PSS is generated using the Zadoff-Chu sequence.

How is the PSS generated in 5G?
In 5G, the PSS is generated using an m-sequence.

Between what two numbers can the SSS be in 4G LTE?
In 4G LTE, the SSS can be between 0 and 167.

How is the SSS generated in 4G LTE?
In 4G LTE, the SSS is generated using the concatenation of two m-sequences.

Between what two numbers can the SSS be in 5G?
In 5G, the SSS can be between 0 and 335.

How is the SSS generated in 5G?
In 5G, the SSS is generated using the PN Gold sequence.
